Is it possible to use MTOM in reponse of CXF RESTf

问题:

I'm using CXF 2.2.12 library for my Web Services.

Is it possible to use MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) in RESTful response?

Would appreciate any links to docs/tutorials regarding this. Thanx!

MTOM is specific to SOAP so I would argue that it is incompatible with a RESTful architecture. However, HTTP supports multi-part content naturally, so you can do everything that MTOM does in HTTP directly.

If you really wanted you could use XOP for packaging your multi-part content like MTOM does, but it really isn't necessary.

MTOM is solving a problem that HTTP already solved.
